"When the No. 9 Pfaff Motorsports Lamborghini Temerario GT3 makes its world racing debut at the Mobil 1 Twelve Hours of Sebring, fans will be glad to know it will have a very familiar look.

Today, Pfaff Motorsports unveiled the car’s livery, retaining the signature red and black buffalo plaid scheme used by the Canadian team for most of its tenure in the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship."

"A purpose-built BMW M3 GT3 Touring is set to join the grid for the 2026 edition of the 24 Hours of Nurburgring, competing in the experimental SPX category.

The project was born from a digital prank on April 1, 2025. When BMW's social media channels teased a rendering of a G81-based GT3 machine, the racing community didn't just laugh – they demanded it."

"Atlassian Williams F1 Team has taken the decision not to participate in next week’s shakedown test in Barcelona following delays in the FW48 programme as we continue to push for maximum car performance.

The team will instead conduct a series of tests including a VTT programme next week with the 2026 car to prepare for the first official test in Bahrain and the first race of the season in Melbourne.

We are looking forward to getting on track in the coming weeks and want to thank all our fans for your continued support – there is a lot to look forward to together in 2026. "

"Ricardo Adami, who served as race engineer for the seven-times world champion throughout 2025, has moved to a new role within the team."

...

“The appointment of the new race engineer for car number 44 will be announced in due course.”

Getting back into F@H and I'd like to move my dedicated folding rig from Windows back to Linux. I recall having issues with getting fan and voltage control + clock speeds to consistently behave correctly when I last attempted years ago on Ubuntu.

What's the suggested strategy for something that's fairly low effort and maintenance, without much hassle when switching GPUs around? Distro suggestion? Driver setup? Any third party tools? It'll mostly be Nvidia cards, and probably no CPU folding. I'd be remoting into it 95% of the time.

Thanks!

It includes updates to the splitter, front floor, front VGs, front wheel arches, brake cooling, and power steering pump. In the rear, both the wing and the diffuser have been revised.

Interestingly, a "Biposto" two-seater version has also been homologated.

McLaren Racing has today announced a new multi-year partnership with Sonic the Hedgehog, bringing together two globally recognised icons of speed and making SEGA the Official Gaming Partner of McLaren Racing.

"Firstly, the rear wing support section was missing four bolts compared to the homologated version of the car, which Ferrari acknowledged was not compliant with the rules. ... "Ferrari argued that “the excessive deflection was linked to the missing bolts” and insisted there had been “no performance gain”, but stewards noted the #50 Ferrari achieved its highest top speed on lap 380 out of 387 – implying there was a performance gain thanks to reduced drag.

"A Ferrari mechanic reportedly noticed the absence of a bolt at 3:23pm, less than an hour before the end of the race, but the AF Corse-run squad did not take corrective action.

I've also read that all cars were checked for this (don't have a source for this though), and also considering the nature of this failure, neither the 51 nor the 83 should be affected.

Ferrari has won the 93rd running of the Le Mans 24 Hours with its satellite #83 entry, driven by Phil Hanson, Robert Kubica and Yifei Ye.
...
The LMP2 class went the way of Tom Dillmann, Jakub Smiechowski and Nick Yelloly in Inter Europol Competition’s #43 ORECA, which led for pretty much the last eight hours and survived a late-race drive-through penalty to win.
...
In a much more attritional race, Ryan Hardwick, Richard Lietz and Riccardo Pera prevailed in Manthey’s #92 Porsche; their main competitors, Team WRT’s #46 BMW driven by Valentino Rossi, Ahmad Al Harthy and Kelvin van der Linde, retired shortly before the midway point after van der Linde went off at the Porsche curves.

"The British organisation unveiled a full-scale model of the LMDh prototype that will race in the Hypercar class of the WEC from 2027 ahead of this year's Le Mans 24 Hours, 30 years on from its victory in the French enduro with the F1 GTR.

"The track-day car is being developed in parallel to the racing machine, in conjunction with Dallara, and will be powered by the same twin-turbo V6 engine.

At Le Mans today, McLaren Racing and United Autosports formally unveiled the next stages of its plans to go Hypercar racing in the FIA World Endurance Championship as McLaren United AS. McLaren Racing CEO Zak Brown (pictured above) took time to discuss further details about the program as it stands, with the world premiere of its new LMDh prototype on the horizon tomorrow, and the first on-track tests to take place in the first half of 2026.

Nice to see them addressing (albeit not quite fixing) the recoil issues right away.

Although it was not unexpected, the one-year delay comes out of necessity rather than desire. RACER understands that while the new spec chassis from Dallara is on schedule, the regulations governing the internal combustion engine design parameters, and the specifications for the energy recovery system, are nearing completion but remain unfinished.

Cadillac has made history at the Le Mans 24 Hours with a first-ever pole position, in a one-two on the grid.
